Acer extensa 4420 won't start

\015 I have a similar problem. One year old pc. A week ago, wouldn't always start up. The green power light would come on for approximately 10 seconds then blink off. Then back on for appr 10 seconds. The top left side indicator light would blink on once in the first 10 seconds then once again in the second 10 seconds. I'll cut and paste the fix which has at least given me a way to turn on the computer but doesn't seem to have fixed it. Sorry I can't credit the author, I was racing against the library computer clock and just got the verbiage saved bf I got kicked off.\015\012\015\012I followed steps 1-5 only because I did get the computer to turn on last nite. Was in a hurry so just shut her down. This morning when I tried to power up, had the same old issue. Followed steps 1-5 again and here I am powered up.\015\012\015\012Any suggestions for next steps appreciated.\015\012\015\012earthsongwalker\015\012\015\012Here's the steps:\015\012\015\012\015\012\015\012\015\012\015\012 \015\012\015\012\015\012 \015\012\015\012 Product \015\012 Notebook \015\012 \015\012 \015\012 \015\012\015\012 \015\012\015\012 \015\012 \015\012 \015\012 \015\012\015\012 \015\012\015\012 Issue \015\012 Power Issues or Will not Boot \015\012 \015\012 \015\012 \015\012\015\012 \015\012\015\012 \015\012 \015\012 \015\012 \015\012\015\012 \015\012\015\012 Solution \015\012 If the notebook does not power on: \015\012 \015\012 Make sure the\015\012 ac adapter is correctly plugged into the notebook and into the power cord.\015\012 \015\012 If everything\015\012 is plugged in correctly and it still will not power on, follow these steps to\015\012 complete a \342\200\230power reset' of the notebook. \015\012 \015\012\015\012 \015\012Unplug the ac adapter.

Answers :

I had problems getting an Acer Extensa 4420 to boot or to enter bios. It would never complete the post. After taking it apart, changing the CMOS battery and making several other adjustments I read that a faulty DVD would cause the problem. I removed the DVD and it went right into Windows VISTA. So I put the DVD back in and had the same problems over again. The issue is a faulty DVD and has nothing to do with the motherboard, or the CMOS battery, or any of those other complex issues. It is simply a faulty DVD that refused to allow POST to proceed.
